Entertainment from Divorce

Chapter 1243 Actor's Choice

Brilliant Entertainment, Film Division.

"Mr. Zheng, here is the list of actors who have schedules under our company."

After Zheng Tong assigned the task of selecting actors, the supervisors below acted very quickly and compiled a list of actors with schedules under the company.

Zheng Tong looked at the list and found that there were not many actors who had schedules available right now.

In order to train more outstanding actors for the company, both the film and TV departments have been filming.

Many actors are in the crew at this time.

This audition is mainly for the company's internal actors.

Of course, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity should be reserved for the company's actors.

Subsequently.

Zheng Tong walked out of the office with the list, spoke briefly to his secretary, and took the elevator to the president's office on the eighth floor.

Upon learning that Tan Yue was in the office, Zheng Tong knocked on the door, and after getting permission, he opened the door and went in.

"Boss Tan, this is the list of actors and actresses that we have compiled that are currently available for the company."

Tan Yue took the list and said, "Are these actors not enough?"

Even if everyone successfully auditions, there are still many roles that remain unfilled.

"This time we plan to let the actors in the company start auditioning first. Before, when everyone came together for audition, the scene was a bit chaotic." Zheng Tong paused and continued, "This is also to give the company's actors more opportunities."

Tan Yue nodded and continued looking at the list.

There is an advantage to this.

Even if the actors under the company are not suitable for this role, they can try other roles.

Tan Yue said, "Okay, let's follow this list and start arranging auditions tomorrow."

They are all actors under the company, and he also wants to give them more opportunities.

"it is good."

Zheng Tong took the list and left.

……

The next day.

Bright Entertainment Company.

It was very lively in a large conference room of the film department.

"It's been a long time since the company has organized an audition of this scale."

Looking around, the entire conference room was full of people.

"Why didn't I see Tiancheng coming?"

"He's filming outside."

"Everyone who can come here at this time has a schedule."

"So that's it."

Everyone was chatting with each other.

For them, every audition is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Looking at this situation, it can't be Mr. Tan's movie, right?"

"I'm not sure. We'll see who's in charge later and then we'll know whose movie it is."

They were all looking forward to Zheng Tong's appearance.

Because only Tan Yue's film was auditioned by Zheng Tong.

Soon.

The office door opened and everyone was excited when they saw Zheng Tong walk in.

Seeing Zheng Tong means there is a high probability that it is a Tan Yue movie.

Zheng Tong picked up the microphone and said, "I won't go into too much detail about the rest. This is not the first time for everyone to audition, so everyone should be familiar with the requirements and rules. I hope that everyone will do their best during the audition process. Who knows, one audition may change your entire career."

Zheng Tong looked around the conference room and said, "Get ready. The audition will begin soon."

After Zheng Tong left, the conference room immediately became lively.

"Oh my god, my intuition tells me this will be Mr. Tan's movie."

"Do you feel the same way?"

"That's right. If it was a play directed by another director, the director would definitely come here in person."

During the conversation, the first actor to audition was called in.

……

Next to the conference room, Zheng Tong and several audition examiners were watching an actor's performance.

More than two hours had passed since the first actor came in.

Some actors performed very well, but some actors' performances were a bit disappointing.

"Thank you, teacher. My performance is over."

After the actors finished performing as required, they stood upright, waiting for the audition results.

Zheng Tongdao: "Teacher Zhao, please tell me your opinion first."

"I think this scene was well acted, the character's characteristics were well captured, and although the emotional handling had some flaws, it was still acceptable..."

In order to fully appreciate the actors' performances, everyone will express their opinions after they finish.

When encountering an actor with bigger problems, several examiners will point out the problems with the actor.

After listening to the opinions of each examiner, Zheng Tongdao said: "Congratulations, you passed the audition."

"Thank you teachers."

"Go back and wait. I'll give you the script in a while."

"Ok."

Watching the actors leave, Zheng Tongdao said: "Everyone take a break first, and we will continue later."

They not only have to look at the actors' performance, but also have to consider whether it is appropriate. After more than two hours, they are physically and mentally exhausted.

Some went to the toilet, and some stood up to stretch their bodies...

Zheng Tong picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then looked down at the list of actors who had passed the audition.

Up to now, fifteen actors have come in for auditions, but only seven have passed.

The elimination rate is as high as 50%.

No way.

This is Tan Yue's movie, and they had to evaluate every actor with the strictest standards.

Zheng Tong thought to himself: "I hope the next actors can perform better."

Everyone rested for more than ten minutes and then the audition continued.

……

It's about seven o'clock in the evening.

Zheng Tong hurried to the president's office.

"Secretary Chen, Mr. Tan hasn't finished get off work yet, right?"

"Not yet."

Zheng Tong nodded, raised his hand to knock on the door, and took a deep breath to adjust his state.

"Come in."

Zheng Tong opened the door and walked in.

“Is the interview over?”

"It's over." Zheng Tongdao: "I sent the video recorded during the audition to your email."

The audition process lasted a day.

The longest break is lunch time.

In order to complete the first audition today, the few of them took very little rest.

The video material is recorded and edited at the same time.

Before coming here, Zheng Tong specially checked some video materials.

Zheng Tongdao: "This is the list of names that have passed the audition."

"How about the audition?" Tan Yue took the list.

"I estimated that the audition pass rate is around 40 percent." Zheng Tongdao: "During the audition process, if you don't pass the first time, we will give you a second chance." When an actor auditions for the first time, several examiners will carefully watch the actor's performance and then select roles that best suit the actor's style based on their performance.

If you still fail the second time, you will be eliminated.

Tan Yue took a quick look at the list and nodded, "We still have a long way to go in finding the right actors for the roles. We need to hurry up and organize the next round of auditions."

The second audition was with actors outside the company.

"It has been arranged. Auditions can begin tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"It's been hard these days."

"It's okay, it's what I should do." Zheng Tong said with a smile: "I'm actually quite happy to see the actors I selected perform well in the movie."

Tan Yue glanced at the time and said, "Don't work overtime today. Go home and rest early."

He knew that Zheng Tong had been working overtime recently on the storyboard script for "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box".

"Ok."

After a busy day, Zheng Tong felt a little tired.

During the audition process, I also took the time to process several documents.

Zheng Tong stood up and said, "Mr. Tan, I'm going back first."

Tan Yue said "hmm", watched Zheng Tong leave, opened his mailbox and found the video material.

Just when he was about to open it and take a look, Chen Ziyu knocked on the door and came in.

"Ayue, are you done with your work?"

"When we're done, let's go home."

Tan Yue planned to watch it after he got home in the evening.

Then the two of them drove home after get off work.

……

Ruishan Community.

Chen Ziyu asked, "Is the audition over today?"

Two people are having dinner.

"It's over. Zheng Tong has sent me the audition video. I plan to watch it after dinner."

"I heard that today's audition is for actors under our company?"

"Yes." Tan Yue said: "After today's auditions, there are still many vacant roles. A second audition will be organized in the next two days, open to the entire actor circle."

In fact, they are all small roles, and those who can come for the audition are basically those who often play supporting roles in major film and television dramas.

"How are the actors performing?"

"Not bad." Tan Yue said, "Zheng Tong compiled a list of actors with available schedules, and the audition pass rate is about 40%."

"A little low."

The dinner ended with the two of them chatting.

Tan Yue did not accompany Chen Ziyu to watch the movie. Instead, he went directly to the study and found the video footage of the actors' auditions in his mailbox and started watching it.

He has been busy with a new movie recently, and many actors have not been confirmed yet. He really wants to see today's audition process.

As he watched the performances of each actor, Tan Yue was quite satisfied.

All the actors who appeared in the video performed very well.

This video material only contains the actors who passed the audition, and those who failed the audition were directly cut out.

Tan Yue glanced at the list of actors in his hand and felt emotional: Zheng Tong was in charge of the auditions for this kind of role before, and now he has a deeper control and understanding of the role.

After reading the list of actors, Tan Yue yawned, and looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, only to find that it was only a few minutes before twelve o'clock.

After watching some of the actors' audition videos, he felt that there was no need to be so urgent.

The actors all meet his requirements, and he can watch the rest after work tomorrow.

Tan Yue turned off the computer, got up and left the study, and carefully returned to his room.

After a simple wash, Tan Yue lay down in bed.

I have to go to work early tomorrow morning, so there is no need to watch all the audition videos today.

If I finish watching it, it will be around two in the morning.

I have been busy preparing for a movie recently. Only by ensuring adequate rest can I focus more on it.

As the lights turned off, the room was dark.

Not long after Tan Yue closed his eyes, he heard the sound of snoring coming from the room.

……

the next day.

"Mr. Tan, this document requires your signature."

As soon as working hours arrived, Chen Ye came over with documents.

Tan Yue looked at the contents of the document carefully.

Chen Ye said: "The promotion plan for the music department's album."

This is a singer under the company.

There are a total of ten songs in this album, five of which are free, and the remaining five can only be listened to after paying.

It is cheaper to buy the album together than to buy them separately.

Tan Yue picked up a pen and wrote his name on the document.

Chen Ye took the documents and left.

Only one document was delivered this morning, and Tan Yue opened the actor's audition video on his computer and started watching it.

Chen Ziyu knew that Tan Yue wanted to see the actors' audition results, so he sent more documents to her.

For Tan Yue, movies are the big deal.

Tan Yue watched the video carefully, looking at the actors' information from time to time.

Some of the actors were not very famous, so he had no impression of them.

There are many actors under Brilliant Entertainment Company. There is no need to say much about famous actors like Ma Guoliang and Fan Shan. Tan Yue naturally knows their situation.

I also have some impression of Tan Yue, a second-tier actor under his company, but I have little idea about any of the actors after that.

This is also an important reason why Tan Yue is planning to use actors he has never worked with before.

With the support of their own movies, maybe they can give a boost to their careers and let more people know these actors.

With the supervision of Zheng Tong and several examiners, Tan Yue felt that there was no problem with the actors in the video materials.

They can take on the roles in the movie.

Thinking that some of the role selection issues had been resolved, Tan Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

At least I don’t have to be unprepared like before.

Zheng Tong is organizing a second interview for these issues regarding the selection of small roles, and the results will be released soon.

Regarding the actors, there are only a few important roles now.

There is already a list of actors who have auditioned for the female roles, but how do we choose the several important male roles?

I watched the actors' auditions and also considered the options carefully.

Regarding the candidate for the second-in-command, he still thinks Ma Guoliang is a preferred choice.

There is no doubt about Ma Guoliang's acting skills. He has played a variety of roles and has experience in participating in nonsensical comedies. He can definitely play this role well.

Previously, Zhou Can and Ma Guoliang also created good sparks during their collaboration.

No matter how big a star you are, everything is for the sake of the movie.

As long as a good effect can be achieved, it is fine to use Ma Guoliang.

Of course Ma Guoliang is the final choice.

While watching the actors' audition videos, Tan Yue was also looking to see if there were anyone suitable for playing important roles.

There are still several important male roles in "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box" that have not yet been filled with suitable candidates, and he wants to wait and see the results of the auditions.

If there is really no suitable candidate, this important supporting role should be played by someone with experience within the company.

Tan Yue wants to train more people, but there is no need to force them.

If the final film does not turn out well, it will not only disappoint the audience, but will also have a huge impact on yourself and the company.

Tan Yue stood up and stretched his body, hoping that there would be a few good actors coming out.
